This would be my first multifamily deal so I was curious how much I would need to put down and what kind of rate/terms I could expect?

Every knows me and can put a my name to my face.

All those suckers that put money in T-bills will be crying in 2-3 years.

I had done smaller projects around the house through the years but figured it was time to really put my best foot forward and make it ready for the market asap.

I currently have 1 rental and its in my personal name not in an LLC, I think at a point when I want to add a second rental I'll start and LLC & put the rentals in the LLC.

I wouldn't really have to put any money in for a reno/rehab. 

Duplex is a great first step into the REI market if you can buy one that you can put in a little TLC/renovations, you can quickly refinance in as little as 6 months and buy another property keeping it as a rental.Duplex allows you to use the other "Unit" rents to qualify for the loan or higher loan amount.Rent is a waste of money when you look at an amortization schedule and payoff based on a 5 year model your rental has (ZERO) equity and a home has money you can pull out.

We also tuckpointed the entire building and are putting on a new roof.

I believe that someone willing to purchase a park and sell the homes can put themselves in a much better position as a community, for the long run and the short run.

I'm willing to put in extra work but I'm not looking for a full-on second job.
